Forbidden Love

Chapter 31: Confused II

"I'm home" sambit ni Anne nang makapasok siya ng kwarto ni Karylle. Tila ba nagmamadali naman ang huli na itinago sa ilalim ng unan ang notebook na kanina'y hawak niya. Nagtataka man, at kahit napansin rin ni Anne na tila kagagaling lang ni Karylle mula sa pagiyak ay 'di na ito nagatubiling alamin pa. Sa halip ay nilapitan niya ito at agad na sinapo tila ba inaalam kung bumaba na ba ang lagnat nito.

"Are you okay na?"

"Hmm yeah kinda. Saan ka galing?" tanong naman ni Karylle pabalik.

"Kumain ka na? I bought you a soup. Ubusin mo ha. Mahal bili ko dyan kaya ubusin mo dapat" sambit ni Anne at inilapag ang isang mangkok ng sopas sa mesa. "After that, don't forget to take your meds. Naligo ka ba?"

"Ha? Oo. Eh ang bantot ko na eh."

"Psh. Pasaway ka talaga. Hindi ka muna dapat naligo" sambit ni Anne na muling hinawakan si Karylle "Pero mukhang bumaba naman na lagnat mo. You just have to take a rest" sambit ni Anne at ngumiting pilit. "I'll go to my room muna. Just call me if you need help or something. Okay?" tumango naman si Karylle at ngumiti nalang din. Lalabas na sana si Anne ng pinto nang bigla na namang magsalita si Karylle.

"Saan ka galing?"

"Psh. I went out to see my friends. Hindi ako nakipagkita kay George. Nasa Baguio pa sila, ang layo nun kung pupuntahan ko pa"

"I didn't.. I didn't ask you if you were with Georgina. Tinatanong ko lang kung saan ka-"

"I know. I'm just assuming." sarkastikong sambit ni Anne na akmang lalabas na sana muli ngunit nagsalita na naman si Karylle.

"Anne..."

"What!?"

"I'm .. I really am sorry about a while ago. I didn't mean to-" napatigil naman si Karylle nang sinenyasan siya ni Anne na huminto sa pagsasalita.

"If you're sorry about what you said then that's fine, you're forgiven but if you're sorry about the kiss, then stop. Don't say it. I don't wanna hear it" sambit ni Anne at tuluyan nang nilisan ang kwarto.

Napabuntong hininga nalang si Karylle nang tuluyan ng nakalayo si Anne. Nakaramdam din siya ng kirot sa kanyang puso. Maging ang sarili niya kasi ay nasaktan din sa mga nasabi niya kay Anne kinagabihan. Ngunit parte ng kanyang sarili, alam niyang iyon ang mas tamang gawin.

Huminga nalang nang malalim si Karylle at napatingin sa sopas na bigay ni Anne. Wala namang nakakaiyak sa sopas ngunit habang nakatitig siya doon ay bigla nalang siyang naluha. Katunayan, kaninang 'di pa umuuwi si Anne ay wala rin siyang tigil sa kanyang pag-iyak.

"Make up your mind Karylle. " sambit niya sa sarili at napapikit nalang sa sobrang daming gumugulo sa isipan niya

Anne's POV

After I left her room, I went straight to mine and took a deep sigh while I'm on my bed. I opened my Instagram account through my phone and searched for Solenn's account. And damn, she really is hot and georgeous! I wonder why her guy left her. Yeah, Solenn had a boyfriend and she had it while she's in a relationship with me. That's the reason why I cheated on her too with my bestfriend, Georgina.

Kung bakit ba naman kasi palaging complicated ang love story ko. Solenn is my first love, I met her when I was in fourth year highschool. I was 17 back then, and a fool for giving her my all when in fact I shouldn't for she didn't love me the way I did. I found out that she has a boyfriend and yes, that boyfriend I am referring to is her boyfriend up to now. Hmm erase that, according to Teddy they just broke up. Anyways, after me finding out about her cheating on me, I didn't broke up with her right away. Why? Because I love her. I loved her so much that it's damn okay for me even if she's cheating on me. Georgina, my bestfriend was the one who comforted me and I was too dumb to take advantage of it. I came into a realationship with Georgina though I didn't love her. I loved her as a friend nothing more, nothing less. I just used her for I had a thought in mind that I might get Solenn back but that didn't happen. When Solenn found out about it, she broke up with me and that's the end of my life. My life back then was indeed a mess. I ended my relationship with George as well hoping that through that, Solenn will forgive me but I was wrong. She totally forgot about me and stayed with her boyfriend.
